Crescentia was awarded a virtual talk to present an update on her work to grow vascular networks within decellularized porcine extracellular matrix. This work represents a step forward toward the development of tissue engineered lungs and was completed in collaboration with Dr. Rebecca Heise's lab at VCU.
